Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, affecting motor function, balance, and cognitive abilities. Traditional rehabilitation approaches often require intensive therapist involvement and prolonged recovery periods. Virtual Reality (VR)-based rehabilitation has emerged as a promising adjunctive tool, offering immersive, engaging, and interactive environments that promote neuroplasticity and motor learning. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VR-based interventions in stroke rehabilitation, focusing on motor recovery, functional independence, and patient engagement. The review synthesizes evidence on the benefits, limitations, and future directions of VR in post-stroke recovery. The analysis of selected studies demonstrates that VR interventions significantly improve upper limb motor function, gait, and balance in stroke patients. Furthermore, VR-based rehabilitation enhances motivation, adherence, and neuroplastic adaptation compared to conventional therapy.
